She frowned and took his hand. "I'm sorry about that. Once this is over I'll come visit you, okay? For now? It's just us here. So all my attention can be focused on you."

......that would be nice. So Ren isn't here? Or even Seculus? That sounds..... "....okay. It's not your fault. I've just...gotten used to having friends." Probably too used to it. This won't last long.

"And that's how it should be. It's a shame no one hangs out with you more."

2016-01-18 11:43:15

🌀

"It's not really a shame, I don't see why anyone would."

2016-01-18 11:44:50

●

"Well that's because you don't see how great you are."

2016-01-18 11:46:55

".......we don't have to go into this again."

2016-01-18 11:49:11

●

"Yes we do."

2016-01-18 11:51:02

🌀

"We just have the same conversation over and over. It's a waste of time."

2016-01-18 11:52:02

●

"And? You still haven't gotten it through your head."

2016-01-18 11:54:40

🌀

"Because I have a built-in bullshit filter."

2016-01-18 11:55:14

●

"More like a built-in 'I can't accept that I'm a good person' enhancer."

"I'm the classic villain of this story. The only thing I've accomplished here is rendering someone mute. Yay me. Of course I'm not."

2016-01-18 11:57:50

●

"And saving my life. And Seculus's."

2016-01-18 11:59:45

🌀

".....complete luck."

2016-01-18 12:00:42

●

"I don't think me being alive is luck right now."

2016-01-18 12:01:24

🌀

"/Any/ of us being alive still is luck."

2016-01-18 12:02:21

●

"I don't see you acting completely reckless, so no. There is no luck to it."

2016-01-18 12:04:20

"......" I recalled being so lonely and bored in the apartment that I began testing the lighters in the junk drawer to see if any of them still had fluid left. I wasn't afraid of the possibilities if they did at the time. That seemed....unfortunate, but another 'whatever'. Maybe it would've gotten my mind off the empty home. It didn't happen. I was almost disappointed. "If the circumstances hadn't been just right for me to 'help' you two, it wouldn't have happened. Everyone we know has had numerous near-death experiences that they lucked their way out of. /Zane/, for Chrissakes."

Ivory said nothing. Just stared at him.

2016-01-18 12:09:02

🌀

I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye. "...what?"

2016-01-18 12:10:54

●

She opened her mouth as if she was going to say something, but just shook her head. "Nothing."

2016-01-18 12:12:57

🌀

"....." I traced my finger in the soil, drawing straight lines from my ankles that trailed off into nothing. Strings.

2016-01-18 12:16:20

●

Ivory stood up, and offered out her hand. "Come on. Lets finish exploring." She just wanted to get off the subject of life and death as quick as possible.

2016-01-18 12:17:44

🌀

"....yeah." I took it and stood, scuffing out the lines with my boot in the process. "It's just a forest, though. There's nothing special out there." I don't want to end up alone again.

"Better than just sitting inside a castle all day."
